For anyone interested. Plant is still yellowing. I've upped the bloom feed, lowered the light and not allowed to dry out at all, I wait until soil is moist. Problem is I have an auto black domina that was put in a 3.2l pot at the start of flower so has been on 12/12 from seed and she is growing lovely. Same soil same feed etc.... I just left her in corner. Also the auto buds seem like they are developing alot better, the photo has almost stunted now

You can’t compare your single stem plants with your bush.

More plant matter = more feed requirements.

So to say that your 2 smaller plants are doing better than your larger plant and everything is the same points to under feeding your larger plant as it’s requirements will be almost double that of the smaller ones.

Cut that shit out. High K antagonises N. That’s probably why they are yellowing. Also high P/K will speed up the ripening process.

Just use the bloom feed, got a nice NPK ratio already.

IF you are dead set on using that booster. Use it at 1/4 strength when hairs are 50/50 white brown for 1-2 weeks max.

I only used the ok booster as someone else in the feed said to. I'll cut it out and add a little grow to the next feed

Looking at the two plants, guessing the larger plant has a pot size double the size of the smaller plant, so if the OP is giving the large plant double the amount of water, the large plants are getting double the amount of food.

I would not up the food, if anything, the tips if the fan leaves look burnt(nute burn)
problem is most new growers chuck loads of food at their plants when it's totally unneeded.

I started this grow on dry ammendments just adding recommended 2 table spoons er gallon of soil every 2 weeks. That's all she was on. Then this all started week 3 veg and introduced liquid nutes as the masses said she's underfed

Sorry didn’t see the pot being double the size but ultimately if the soil has been depleted and he top dresses the same amount as the small ones then yes it would be an underfeeding issue Imo.

Auto is in a 3.2l plastic pot and larger is in 12l rhizo pot. The larger plant was getting 4 tablespoons every week and auto was getting 1 table spoon every 2 weeks

If you have a good soil mix, you may need to top-dress once or twice in flower, with experience you will see that plants don't need much food, and giving the plants too much food causes lots of problems, weed is a valuable plant so the grow shops want to sell you expensive plant food, how much money would you spend on growing toms or carrots? a plant is a plant more or less, they all need the same.

Oh don’t get me wrong I’m a feed lower EC rather than higher EC kind of guy myself.

my last grow in coco didn’t exceed 1.2EC and was being fed 0.8EC for most of the grow.

so I’m definitely a less is more kind of guy.
